Patient Journey with Med Access India

Mrs. Abigail had been suffering from a non-healing varicose vein ulcer for over 12 years, with no successful treatment in her home country. After being referred by a friend, she connected with Med Access India, where her case was
handled through a structured, step-by-step case management approach rather than a single procedure.

Case Management Approach

✔️ Step 1: Pre-Arrival Evaluation

•  Medical reports reviewed remotely
•  Cost estimate and treatment roadmap shared
•  Transparent planning before travel

✔️ Step 2: Multi-Specialty Diagnosis

• Consultations with multiple specialists
• Root cause identified
• Condition assessed as not fit for immediate surgery

✔️ Step 3: Staged Treatment Planning

• Phase-wise approach designed for optimal outcome

Treatment Plan (Step-by-Step)

 Phase 1: Wound Preparation

• Skin grafting performed by plastic surgeon
• Objective: Heal wound to operable condition

Phase 2: Definitive Treatment

• Referred to vascular surgeon
• Procedure to block faulty vein causing recurrence

Role of the Case Manager

The Med Access Case Manager played a critical role across multiple stages:

1-  Coordinated between plastic surgeon and vascular surgeon
2-  Planned treatment across months, not just a single visit
3-  Ensured continuity of care between procedures
4- Managed scheduling, follow-ups, and patient expectations
5- Provided continuous guidance and reassurance

“They made sure I got the best doctor and treated the root cause.”

Support System Provided

1- End-to-end treatment coordination
2- Long-term care planning across visits
3- Seamless transition between specialties
4- Cost transparency and affordability
5- Continuous patient engagement

Outcome

2- No swelling in legs
3- Significant pain relief
4- Full recovery within 6 months
5- Patient returned to normal life

Patient Testimonial
